Selection of the photovoltaic system power for the electric vehicle

Abstract

The article presents a method of a photovoltaic system power selecting for proper electric vehicle. At the beginning, the characteristics of the electric vehicle itself and its traction batteries were made in order to determine the method of its charging. In the presented studies, measurement data from the operation of real photovoltaic systems was recorded and processed. The algorithm used includes examining the energy consumption profile of the owner's residential building. The combined demand for electricity of the electric vehicle and the building made it possible to determine the planned photovoltaic system. The authors presented three possibilities of its location. It can be installed on the roof of the building, on the ground next to the building or on the carport under which an electric vehicle can be parked. Finally, the Metalog family of probability distributions was used to analytically validate the power choice of the photovoltaic system. The authors have developed an algorithm using human and artificial intelligence that helps to properly select the power of the photovoltaic system for the vehicle.

A New Approach to Use of Traction Power Network in Poland for Charging Electric Vehicles

“…The use of railway power infrastructure to charge electric vehicles is not a frequently used solution. However, there are several technical solutions regarding charging, power supply and the intercorrelation of electric vehicles with electric traction networks (mainly with urban traction networks powering trams, metro and trolleybuses) [1,[12][13][14][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

“…In the context of the development of EV charging systems and the related V2G technology, the use of renewable energy sources is combined. In paper [23], the authors developed an algorithm for selecting the power of a photovoltaic system for charging the traction batteries of an EV, using the Metalog distribution to simulate various strategies for generating electricity by photovoltaic systems.…”

“…There are no implemented solutions that directly use RPI for EV charging, but after familiarizing ourselves with the structure of RPI and the proposals presented in the literature [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26], it can be concluded that it is technically possible to use RPI for the development of electromobility.…”
